Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve-year-old Annie Thompson used to be friendly and cheerful. She loved her home in Southern California, and she loved school. Now Annie has a secret--one that makes her feel shamed and all alone. When she was nine, an older boy named Lonny molested her more than once, threatening to kill her and her parents if she told. Now in seventh grade, Annie is withdrawn, suspicious, and depressed. Her parents don’t understand where the girl they once knew has gone, and she can’t tell them. It was her fault, she tells herself. Kids at school sense she’s in pain, and they bully her. And then, Precious, a six-year-old brown-and-white Welsh pony with a white star on her forehead, appears in Annie’s life. The pony, too, despite the neglect it has received, is a survivor. Together, Annie and Precious embark on a journey that takes them both to a better place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I spent my early childhood on our ranch in Trout Lake, Washington amid the beautiful forests and hay fields of the Lazy C Over Springs Ranch. My Father, Ellis Claridge, taught me to rope and ride to be responsible for the care and wellbeing of my horse and dog. I actually loved doing chores and driving the tractor. My life on the XZ Ranch in Trout Creek, Montana began with my marriage to Jim Matthews, a member of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association), a cowboy who loved riding broncs. Together we worked toward the accomplishment of buying and building our ranch. We lived a hard-working, hard-playing, joyous life until the accidental death of Jim turned my life upside down. When I met and married Dick Johnson, we moved to the Wild Horse Ranch in Eastern Oregon where we raised Simmental Cattle and were privileged to enjoy the many children that God brought to visit us, sometimes for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months. All were welcome for however long they were allowed to stay. All of this time, I was blessed to have many horses, dogs, and various other creatures who enriched our lives with fun and laughter.

Download or read book The Last Ride of the Pony Express written by Will Grant and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spellbinding" (Douglas Preston) and "completely fascinating" (Elizabeth Letts), cowboy and journalist Will Grant takes us on an epic and authentic horseback journey into the modern West on an adventure of a lifetime. The Last Ride of the Pony Express boldly illuminates both our mythic fascination with the Pony Express, and how its spirit continues to this day. The Pony Express was a fast-horse frontier mail service that spanned the American West— the high, dry, and undeniably lonesome part of North America. While in operation during the 1860s, it carried letter mail on a blistering ten-day schedule between Missouri and San Francisco, running through a vast and mostly uninhabited wilderness. It covered a massive distance—akin to running horses between Madrid and Moscow— and to this day, the Pony Express is irrefutably the greatest display of American horsemanship to ever color the pages of a history book. Though the Pony Express has enjoyed a lot of traction over the years, among the authors that have attempted to encapsulate it, none have ever ridden it themselves. While most scholars would look for answers inside a library, Will Grant looks for his between the ears of a horse. Inspired by the likes of Mark Twain, Sir Richard Burton, and Horace Greeley, all of whom traveled throughout the developing West, Will Grant returned to his roots: he would ride the trail himself with his two horses, Chicken Fry and Badger, from one end to the other. Will Grant captures the spirit of the west in a way that few writers have. Along with rich encounters with the ranchers, farmers, historians, and businessmen who populate the trail, his exploits on horseback offer an intimate portrait of how the West has evolved from the rough and tumble 19th century to the present, and it’s written with such intimacy that you’ll feel as though you’re riding right alongside of him. Along the way, he fights off wild mustangs wanting to steal his horses in Utah, camps with Peruvian sheepherders in the mountains, and even spends three days riding under the Top Gun aviator school in Nevada, which are just a handful of extraordinary tales Will Grant unveils as he makes his way across the treacherous and, at times, thrilling landscape of the known and unknown American West. The Last Ride of the Pony Express is a uniquely tenacious tale of adventure by a native son of the West who defies most modern conveniences to compass some two thousand miles on horseback. The result is an unforgettable narrative that will forever change how you see the West, the Pony Express, and America as a whole.
